36 may not be look that impressive, but it is when all the scores are a 9.
I've decided, this is a must buy... if for the music alone.
Another entry in the Wii library, getting better each day passing by.
Thanks to 1up, here you'll get some lines translated:
Some highlights from the console games due to hit Japan next week, courtesy of Famitsu magazine's review pages: - Xenoblade (9/9/9/9, 36 points): The top game of the week, and a review score that's particularly striking because even Xenogears -- director Tetsuya Takahashi's most famous RPG -- received only 31 points upon its release in 1997. "The massive field to explore, plus the sheer number of side quests, is enough to make you forget about the main story," one writer said. "The battles are also excellent, requiring you to constantly think about your position against the enemy's."
While the story was interesting to the review crew, much of the praise was reserved for the battle system, which is "MMORPG-style in the way it plainly defines every character's role in the fight [...]It's hard to keep track of everything when a lot of enemies are attacking at once, but the chaos that results just adds to the tension." There you go: great battle system, large world to explore and (I hope) a great story to tie it all up together. If we were already sold with its soundtrack, I guess we can all be sure our money will be worth it.
Should be good.
"Why does everyone ask about Chrono Trigger? (responding to a comment about the title being loved) That's not what the sales tell me! If people want a sequel, they should buy more!" - Square Enix Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto
I think my thoughts were already summed up in the replies, but I'll echo them anyway: for a game with little to no hype, this is a damn good score. I'm looking forward to a western date so that we can preorder this too! ^_^

I'm not liking how that sounds. Though, Famitsu has never been big on the Xeno game's stories so I guess I don't have to worry about it (since I personally love them).

I didn't like it neither and though I haven't played previous games, I know they were praised for their story. I don't know why I have so much confidence that I'll be quite epic and complex (in a good way), maybe just for what we've seen in the trailers.
great score, wasn't expecting it to be that high :)
i hate waiting so long while all those japanese people get the game way before us :(
